“Dancing is as old as love” — Lucian

Since people first began to stand upright, we have danced; for joy, for sadness, for celebration, for ritual, for fun, for company, for love, for anger, for all kinds of reasons. Every emotion we feel, every experience we live, expresses itself in movement. A victorious athlete dances in triumph, warriors build up courage and terrify their enemies with war dances, a mother cradling her baby will gently rock from side to side, lovers or friends throw their arms about each other, expressing their delight. We react to music with movement, toes or fingers tapping instinctively to the rhythm, body swaying to the beat. You can’t ignore it – we’re hard-wired to dance. It’s in our DNA. Dance runs all through our lives, a basic, essential and wonderful fact of existence.Add custom text here or remove it

Annual Conferences for Dance People

admin 30/10/2022 About

There are a lot of great Dance and Dance Science conferences going on at this time of the year, and one of the take-home points from the COVID pandemic is that it’s possible to attend some of these online, thereby saving both travel costs and health risks, as well as mitigating your carbon footprint. As I write this, I’m (virtually) at the wonderful 32nd Annual Conference of the International Association for Dance Medicine & Science, being held both in person and online in Limerick, Ireland, over 4 days of this weekend. These conferences are usually great moments to catch up with colleagues, to bring yourself up on the latest developments in your field, and to make new friends and network contacts, and I highly recommend checking out the available opportunities to connect with the stimulating and exciting atmosphere you can find at these events.

A great conference coming up in November is the virtual Healthy Dancer Canada conference taking place on the 19th and 20th of November 2022, and I’ve attached some information for you below — it would be great to see you there, and perhaps have a chance to chat… Here’s the press info — please feel free to pass it on to anyone you know who might be interested.
